Why Do We Love Mibba?

swell:

The fact that I can fan-girl my heart out and it's okay because there are people who fangirl as much as I do, if not more on here. IT'S GREAT.

This. So, so much.

I find it an especially great outlet for myself because I don't have any sisters, or have ever had many of the same interests as my friends, so to be able to come here and gush my heart little out like a complete and total girl feels really amazing. xD

One thing I will always love about Mibba is the smileys.

I wish my iphone emojis were Mibba smileys instead

Because I feel staff appreciates me reporting things and I enjoy seeing them fixed/corrected. I also like the way staff responds. They give you enough information, but never so much that it infringes with another user's privacy. (i.e; "It's been reported in the staff forum." "We're looking into it." "They have been banned.")

Because the other users on Mibba aren't hesitant to talk to staff members, whether it be casually or to file a report.
A title under a username doesn't mean anyone is "above" another, so to speak, and I'm glad that this is how the community is.
We're collectively like a blanket---warm, cozy, & very inviting.

This so much. I keep going to use the smileys on Facebook and it makes me so sad when I remember that I can't use them.

This. That's what one thing I love.

This smiley. It's like the personification of my hugs except I obviously let go after a minute or two.

After looking at a few other writing sites, I can say that I think our story system is the best. It's not impossible to get your story to be recognized.

I love how when you go through search tags, the most recently updated stories show up first, rather than the most popular ones.

I love the option for custom layouts, and how neatly all the story info is available on the story pages.

Of every site I've been on, I can say Mibba is the best when it comes to stories. For that reason, I can't even force myself to post my works anywhere else.

EDIT:

I absolutely love when you give an author feedback on a story, and they either message or comment you back with their reasoning for things, or their inspiration, or their goals with the story. It makes me feel like I have a little inside scoop on what's going on and I love discussing things with the actual writer. It's so awesome.

I like how, unlike some other sites, you can't tell if I'm online/offline. You also can't see what I am subscribed to, or where I am/what I am reading/etc. I was on a different site the other day and it showed everyone my recently visited pages and omg no that's stalking to a whole new level

@ The Real Mitt Romney
You know you want to be stalked like that on Mibba, jk.

I love how real some of the staff is.I know I'm staff just hear me out. On other bigger websites (other than GPX) the staff seems so... serious all the time, I don't know how to explain it. Almost robotic. But on here you can feel the warmth from some of the staff.

Story layouts. I cannot use other writing websites because the default story page is so bland.

YES. I do use other writing sites, but I will always love Mibba the most for letting us be unique and give our stories our own layouts.

I love the staff, my friends and how we can connect all the time. Right now I especially love that the site news is on My Mibba, it makes me feel "in the loop" even though I subscribed to the thread.

I also love the pretty layouts.

Because this:

The ability to have an open, respectable and nice discussion with someone who has the complete opposite opinion to you on a subject and it remain respectable for the entity. Even better when the member can see from your point of view and you from theirs and you both accept the other will have a different opinion.

The conversation gif edition thread. It totally makes my day... I'm easily amused.

Mibba being a safe place makes me happy. Like, our badass staff coming in and stopping the drama and just being there for us. The staff are so cool. I love chatting with them. Also that no one here harasses me about my odd ships like the incredibly rude people on Tumblr.

Because when I'm feeling down in the dumps, I come on here, complain and don't get told to suck it up because worse things are going on. I get lovely replies when people don't need to try and cheer me up and it genuinely makes my day. Mibbians are the nicest bunch of people I know.

I love the layouts, I am on other sites but you can't customize like Mibba. People are very supportive. I <3 Mibba!

buena fortuna;:

^ That.

Also, I feel as if I'm the minority that likes how comments aren't disabled on blogs. Because I think of it this way:
if someone posts a blog and they're extremely upset or sad, I can help them. I can talk to them, convince them
that they're going to feel much better. I can't count how many times I've tried to help someone who felt
suicidal / at their worst and posted a blog expecting no responses. I'm not just a staff member robot ();
I'm a human being, and that means I can empathize. I don't want anyone to feel as if they're suffering alone.

People like kitsch, for example, who are as sweet and helping as they are. I could probably name a billion other people, but as her post is above mine she's the best example to use at this current point in time.
